Mamiya RZ67 Pro
A professional medium-format camera system introduced in 1982, known for its electronic shutter and studio durability.
Overview
The Mamiya RZ67 Pro is a professional medium-format film camera system made by Mamiya. It is the original version in the RZ67 line, which includes the later Pro II (1995) and Pro IID (2004). The camera was reported as still in production as of March 2010, and production of previous RZ versions ended around 2010/2011. Mamiya designed it as an evolution of the older mechanical-shutter RB67, and it adds an electronic shutter and auto exposure. One user noted a preference for the RZ67 Pro over the RB67. The frame format is closer to 4:3 than 3:2, which sets it apart from 35mm aspect ratios.
